So I guess this is not a bug. I missed the section about the substrings script in the README, although it is made obvious enough with warnings etc. :) Cheers, Bert 2014-03-24 15:19 GMT+01:00 Németh László <nem...@numbertext.org>: > Dear Bert, > > It seems for me, that your hyphenation patterns haven't been processed > by the substrings.pl script of libhyphen distribution.
